coming face-to-face

the tough thing about Christianity is that it forces you to come face-to-face with your own depravity, your own brokenness, your own inability, every single day. this is why we invent religion- it is easier to make rules that we can follow and do on our own. when we admit we can't do it, we have to see how messed up we really are. we have to look into the mirror every day. its hard to be that honest with ourselves.

this is the difficulty of Christianity when done right. it brutally addresses our faults all the way down to the core.
